    1. Motivational Dreamgoals

      by , 04-24-2012 at 09:48 PM
      Since recall is not a problem anymore, I decided to write down some goals I would like to achieve when attaining lucidity.
      This just for my own purpose of writing it down somewhere (besides the pen/paper DJ).
      These are what just come to mind;
      - Fly
      - Be a giant
      - Be a woman
      - Summon/revisit older dreams in my memory.
      - To walk around in Soundgardens music video of Black Hole Sun
      - Manipulate time, or just explore the dimension of time in dreams in general.

      These are just a few of what will probably become a very long list. Well I hope this last minute entry wil have an influence on my dream cause I'm going to bed now.
      If you have any goals you think are really worth it and are a must do for LDers. Please share them!

      Goodnight,

    2. Attaining Lucidity, Week 02.

      by , 04-22-2012 at 08:46 PM
      This week went by fast, quick and mundane. As did the dreams.
      About halfway through the week my recall went downhill, I could still recall some dreams but they came to me later on during my first waking hours of the day.
      A lot of them were like last weeks, not really exciting which is why I didn't post any dreams yet.
      At the end of the week I got the recall back under controle. I really prefer waking up during the night for recall.

      And I think I've had some first hints of attaining lucidity!
      I was offered a drink by someone. And in my head I started thinking to myself; I have to remember to buy her a drink later this evening.
      My guess is that the thought about remembering triggered something in my head.
      So as I had this thought in my dream, it slowly began to dawn on me.
      Unfortunatly the realisation came in whilst I was beginning to wake up. So when I figured out I was dreaming I woke up.
      I've embraced this as a good step forward and motivation to maintain a good awareness of my reality in my waking life.

      So the objective of this week was to keep up the recall, and I think I did succeed in the end.
      My objective for next week is to maintain/improve the recall and I'm now adding awareness to my AL agenda.
      I learned focus and discipline are very important these first weeks, cause before you know it, it all slips away.
      Second thing I learned, routine.
      The weekends really aren't any good for my sleep patern and the alcohol doens't help recall either.

      But that's ok. My vision is to explore and enjoy the waking life as much as I can, without it the dreamworld is useless.
      You must really experience the waking world to get the best out of your LDs right?

      Well that's what I think at least.

      Also, as a side note in a side note.
      I created a new thread in the General Lucid Discussion.
      It's about the experience and perception of time during lucid dreams.
      The thread is still on the first page so I'm not gonna bump it yet.
      But I'm very interested in the experiences and opinions of you, the forum community, about the subject.
      So check it out if you've got the time and are interested in discussing it.

      Goodnight,
      Booney

    3. Attaining Lucidity, Week 01.

      by , 04-15-2012 at 07:16 PM
      A couple of weeks ago, I had a very vivid dream that ended with me attaining lucidity.
      I knew this because I was already familiair with the concept but I never felt the need to look into it, untill this personal experience.

      So exactly one week ago, I joined the Dream Views community and started my journey into the realms of the dreamworld.

      Objective week 01, enhance dream recall.

      With confidence and determination I suprised even myself with recalling no less than 3 dreams every single night since the night I started.
      The first nights were based on my everyday life, as if my mind was just putting my everyday experiences into place. But, slowly, my mind was getting familiar with my intentions and so the last couple of nights it threw some random mystical ones. Hoping my mind would make the connection I tried to feel as happy about it as I could so it would now my intentions.

      Objective week 02, keep it up.

      I plan on keeping up with my pen/paper DJ and share the more interesting dreams here also.
      As soon as confidence is high enough I will do some first attempts of really attaining lucidity.

      If you have any advice on how to continue please do comment on my journal or sent a message.

      Goodnight,
      Booney
